Abstract
The cervical mechanical properties can be obtained from recorded pressure and diameter data in vivo via the established mechanical model. Matrix material and collagens of the cervix wall were remodeled during pregnancy. The mechanical model can be applied to other tubular visceral organs where concomitant measures of pressure and diameter can be obtained for better understanding diseases and their evolution or treatment.
